It seems unfit for Apple to put a decent camera in to anything but the iPhone, and notwithstanding many hopes, both cameras in the iPad 2 are about as easy as you could obtain without having to bucket a hurl of movie in there.
In fact, the iPad 2's camera has more in familiar with the low-res camera in the iPod Touch than it does to the rsther than glorious a in the iPhone 4.
The specs is to iPad's rear-facing camera usually lists a number: 720p. That should meant 1280 x 720 pixels, that gives a megapixel figure of 0.92, evidently invalid for stills.
However, flip over to the iPod Touch camera specs and you see the following: "HD (720p) up to 30 frames per second with audio; still photos (960 x 720) with back camera." Yes, the Touch shoots stills at an even descend fortitude than video, many expected since the wide-screen movie format is squared-off to fire stills. The stills it produces are just prudish of 0.7 megapixels, or about the same fortitude as an early 1990s-era digital camera.
It's exceedingly expected that the iPad 2 and the iPod Touch share the expect same camera (although you won't know for certain until iFixit tears a open to see). It seems that it will be fine for movies, and bad for photos.
Then again, with the camera connection pack you can always just import images from a actual camera. And for receiving notes, gnawing menus or grabbing cinema before grunging them up and sending them off to Instagram, it'll do the trick.
Still, for a device that expenses a minimum of $500, it would be good to have a improved picture sensor, rsther than than these bottom-of-the-barrel ones Apple insists on using. Will you ever obtain one? It's starting to look rsther than doubtful.
